Balanchine variations

"With a life that spanned a period of unrivaled innovation in nearly every field of human endeavor (1904-1984), George Balanchine's work bridged the worlds of classical and modern ballet. Today, the ballets Balanchine choreographed are danced by companies around the world, and this innovative book is sure to become an indispensable guide, prized by dancers and spectators alike. Amid the vast reams of literature on the late master, this work concentrates on the ballets themselves, providing critical analysis and detailed descriptions of his choreography." "Nancy Goldner offers detailed insights into individual ballets covering 22 of the dances he created for the New York City Ballet. Goldner places the work in the context of his life and sensibility, addressing such issues as his taste in music and whether his style can be viewed as particularly American."--book jacket.
